How much more is 15"?

For grinding I thnnk it will be a lot better.

The Flash Storage is the primary hard drive.  You should put anything on there that you want to load / run really quickly.  If you wanted to download and store loads of porn films/pictures then you would probably need to buy an external hard drive.  These are relatively cheap but 256GB should be fine for most things.  Unless you're planning on downloading the entire contents of Brazzers Netflix then you should be fine.

The 15" is £500 more and I use a monitor for grinding anyway. Will be heavier and bulkier to carry around as well so it's not a good option for me.

@tomsom 128MB is 200$ cheaper, will that suffice? Literally will just have some photos and iPhone videos to store, and run the usual software + poker bits and bobs.

If you decide you don't want a Mac and want something that gives a similar performance from a Windows laptop, I got a Dell M3800 when I started my new contract.  It's a corker of a Windows machine with an ultra-HD touchscreen, which is incredible.

It's not cheap though, think the spec of mine (with two SSDs) cost about £1,600.  Nice laptop though.

Once you go Mac you'll never go back!

Check out the prices on Amazon, much cheaper than buying directly from the Apple store.  Also, consider cashing in some Pokerstars FPP's for Amazon gift vouchers to buy your Mac.

Looks like the opposite to me.

The MacBook Pro 13" is £749 on amazon ($1198) but $1099 on apple.com with free shipping.

Is that $1099 the price in the USA (the USA is the cheapest place to buy computers)?.  If you but them in the UK the apple store price is £899 or £999 with the retina display.  I would recommend to spend the extra and get the retina display.

If you buy goods direct from USA be careful as customs sometimes slap tax on it at point of entry not too sure the exact way it works but i have had goods slapped with extra tax before

Yet again I find myself agreeing. I got slapped with a £90 charge when I shipped a £400 item from the states. I had to pay the deliveryman cash.

Lol don't sound so disappointed when you agree with me
